Digital Re-Use of Content

All HBS Cases (and all other HBP content) are protected by copyright and may not be reproduced or distributed, whether in print or electronic form, without permission of Harvard Business School Publishing.

Electronic copies of content may not be posted on, or distributed by, third party course providers or content aggregators/distributors that do not represent the single, secure learning management system in use at the school. Faculty seeking student-pay distribution of materials should utilize the Coursepack-creation capability available to authorized educators on the Harvard Business for Educators website.

HBP does allow institutions and programs to distribute their content on select learning platforms if they have an enterprise, institution-pay contract with HBP. Interested institutions should contact their HBP Regional Sales Representative for more information.

Harvard Business Review Press Book Chapters

Individual chapters of many popular Harvard Business Press books are now available online. If you find a book that is not currently part of our chapters program, you may request one-time permission to photocopy book chapters for classroom use.

You may request copyright permission online. The "My Library" section of the web site gives educators a flexible home base for planning and delivering course material. Once you have added materials to your library, you may order copyright permission for them and indicate the quantity needed for your course.
